Quick! Think of something interesting to say at dinner Friday night. If nothing’s coming to you, here are your conversation starters for the weekend.

Flamin’ Hots go to Hollywood

Hollywood’s been thirsty lately with movie adaptations: Ouija. Angry Birds. A SECOND Jumanji movie. Now Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are getting the big-screen treatment? Yes, it’s true, but don’t expect an animated red snack — instead, the movie will focus on the very cool story of creator Richard Montanez. Montanez was a janitor at a Frito-Lay plant in Southern California when he came up with the idea for Flamin’ Hots, which he said were inspired by spicy Mexican corn dish elote. He went on to become a vice president at the company, a motivational speaker and successfully pitch a movie to Fox Searchlight (this one).

First rapper in space

Chicago rapper Towkio’s new album, “WWW,” rocketed sky-high before it even came out. No, literally, he took a helium balloon into space and played the album 100,000 feet above the Earth's surface; afterwards, a parachute brought him back down safely. The journey was live-streamed on his Instagram, but his manager says a video recapping the full experience is in production. “WWW” was released Feb. 23.

Tiffany Haddish gets animated

Tiffany Haddish continues to ride her big moment: On top of “Girls Trip,” a forthcoming show with Tracy Morgan and being spokeswoman for Groupon, now she’s partnering with the creators of “BoJack Horseman” on an animated series for Netflix. Deadline reports“Tuca & Bertie” will star Haddish as “a cocky, care-free toucan, and Bertie, an anxious, daydreaming songbird.” No word on whether the birds’ exploits will include a discount swamp tour with Will Smith.

The digit: 8

It’s been almost this many years since ’80s pop sensation (and namesake for our deputy editor) Sade released new music. She’s back in action on the soundtrack for new film “A Wrinkle In Time” with a song called “Flower of the Universe.” The movie, which stars Oprah and Reese Witherspoon, is an adaptation of the seminal sci-fi book of the same name. The rest of the soundtrack is nothing to sneeze at, either: It’s got tracks from DJ Khaled and Demi Lovato, Sia, and Kehlani, as well as a score by “Game of Thrones” composer Ramin Djawadi. The soundtrack and the movie come out March 9.

Alex Trebek, debate host?

Everyone knows that “Jeopardy!” is the world’s greatest game show: To win, contestants must possess knowledge, reflexes and ability to brush off Alex Trebek’s biting wit. But Trebek is putting his sass to a new use: politics. As usual, he won’t be competing — he’s moderating a gubernatorial debate in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Trebek previously expressed interest in moderating a presidential debate, telling The Hill in 2013, “I would not let the politicians get away with standard responses. I would try to pin them down, even though I might look bad doing it.”
